Connection with our intuition is a human birthright – we each came to this earthly journey with tools to help us find our true purpose, and one of those tools is our intuition. Without it, we are left blind as we navigate the complexities of human life. Though our intuition is connected with our higher chakras, when we are separated from it, we also feel unsafe and insecure in our lives, which causes stress in our lower chakras. Intuition is as important to our energetic bodies as is feeling safe, loved, creative, and worthy of abundance!
Your third eye chakra is located just above your eyebrows and when it is balanced, you feel connected with your intuitive self. However, when the third eye chakra is constricted you may: have sinus problems, have stress headaches, be afraid of seeing the truth in life, overly rely on your intellect to navigate life, and resist gaining wisdom from your life experiences.
Ten ways to balance your third eye chakra, and grow your intuition:
1) Meditate lying down with an amethyst on your third eye
2) Visualize a spiral of indigo light emanating from your brow
3) Listen to your ‘gut’ – ask a question and sit quietly, listening for a sense of the answer
4) Use essential oils that open the third eye: sage, sandalwood, rosemary
5) Be open to realizations about yourself
6) Journal about any repressed negative thoughts about the TRUTH of your life –process what you learn about yourself and your point of view
7) Engage your imagination – allow yourself to daydream
8) Stargaze
9) Eat purple foods – cabbage, plums, purple potatoes
10) Take time to answer this question for yourself: in what ways do I engage with my spirituality?
I already mentioned amethyst which is a wonderful third eye companion! There are other crystals that can support opening your third eye:
